hi tiger caat
i am happy that you found us. has your therapist questioned if you have a dissociative disorder? could your inner child be an alter? i was treated for several years after both my psych doc and therapist suspected it but never did anything to investigate it and i just got worse and worse. then i got a trauma therapist and found out i was DID and the inner children i have dealt with for years were actually alters. i have much the same conversations with them as you are describing. it is worth asking about. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
